Rights of Way

The Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010 requires that for the first time Development Plans include a list and maps of public rights of way to seashore, mountain, lakeshore, riverbank and other place of natural beauty or recreational utility. It is intended that this will preserve Rights of Way for recreational purposes for current and future generations. The Draft Development Plan includes 52 public Rights of Way which are listed and mapped in Volume 2 . It is important to note that this is not an exhaustive list and the omission of a Right of Way from this list shall not be taken as an indication that such a right of way does not exist. The Council intends to continue to identify existing Public Rights of Way during the life time of this Plan. There are a number of Proposed Amendments/Material Alterations to the Public Rights of Way. Following consideration of the Chief Executives Report on submissions received regarding Public Rights of Way, in accordance with the provisions of Section 14(3) of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2014 the Planning Authority is serving notice of the recommendation of the members of Kerry County Council regarding the following Public Rights of Way .
